Why is the magic in the game so weak?

Your build isnt working out because you are all over the place.

You are trying to be a life / mind over matter / energy shield hybrid build mixed in with lightning dmg, minion stuff and some crit.
Thats too much.

In this game you should focus on a few things and scale those as much as you possibly can, trying to exploit synergies when you can.


When I imported your build you were sitting at:
Life: 1579 (32% life from tree is nowhere near enough)
Energyshield: 2269
Unreserved Mana: 253 (why would you go Mind over Matter, if you dont have unreserved mana to begin with?)
Effective health: 4101
DPS: 81.692

As a result you get stunned a lot. Once you stunned, you cant cast. If you can cast, you cant leech ES or life and you die.
Also ES/Life leech is capped and the cap depends on how much ES/life you have. The more you got, the more you can leech.
You tried to throw in some cast when stunned setups to fix that, but its not working out.

I ditched Mind over Matter, because it does next to nothing for you and focussed on stacking as much life and dmg as I could to give you a fighting chance.

Now it looks like this:
Life: 3875 (181% life from tree, not where I wanted it to be but much much better)
Energyshield: 1777 (I dropped a bit because life is just more important)
Effective health: 5652 (close to 50% more than you had before)
DPS: 245.397 (almost tripled the dmg output)
Could be 353.950 dps if you were to replace the life leech gem.
Also I made sure to cap out your elemental resistences, allowing you to drop some of your items with no life rolls. Try to get life everywhere and get to 5-6k life total. Plus some 2k ES should be an ok defense for the time being.


This is still not great and you will still die a lot until you manage to get more life on your gear.
But you should die way less than before and at least dish out some dmg.
Most of this was caused by your inefficient pathing on the tree, ignoring Elemental Overload and your Golems. Latter ones are living buffs in this build and you need as many of them as you can possibly get.


If you are interested, here is my PoB link:

Cheers

what did you do there, I don't know why you write without screenshots in the skill tree? can i write too i did dps 1.5 trillion?)))))))
Thats why I posted my PoB link ;)

Download PoB, install and start it.
Then copy my link and import it (import button top left) in PoB.
You can see all changes I made there. The tree, skillgems, everything.


If you have questions, feels free to ask
this is great, but it is useless if there is no language change
Im not aware of a Russian PoB-version but I never looked it up, why would I? :D


I guess you have to do it yourself or deal with the english version

can you upload a screenshot of the lightning mage skill tree here? https://prnt.sc/1369jk7
I could but why would I?

Just intall the tool and look at the tree.
Its better that way, because if you make some changes and have question you can simply post your tree or PoB-link and everyone else can import and work with it.


This tool is probably the most important one for this game and you better install it. ;)

aren't enchantments and elements the same thing?
Well, barrage use wand attack damage (and also power siphon )


But most of them use added SPELL damage on the wand


How noob it is to claim there is no 1000 dps wand? (Because it is one handed weapon and for balance?)
